Spring planting preparations are ongoing. We are also working on getting the last of the March grain contracts delivered. We finally received a nice three inch rain which we expect will get our field tile flowing once again. It has been since last July since the field tile ran. We were really dry. Very thankful for that.

| Trying something new this year...chicken litter in place of commercial synthetic fertilizer. It's much more expensive due to the freight from St. Louis, but we are going to try it on a couple farms for several years to gauge it's effectiveness. |
